San Gabriel Avenue Elementary School

Posted September 29, 2009

My daughter just started attending kinder with Mrs. Taylor. I am very impressed on her dedication and effort to make sure the students learn their materials. My daughter just started 3 weeks ago and she now knows how to read and write high frequency words. I can only imagine how much she will learn in the year. So far I am very please with the school and I hope that all the teachers and staff are as motivating as Mrs. Taylor.

Well around 1983 I started 3rd grade at this school. I really enjoyed myself especially my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Rems she was also my daughters 5th grade teacher before she left. I really think that this school is not that bad. I have all 3 of my daughters attend this school (currently 2 are still attending) and all of their teachers have been pretty good. If we the parents involve ourself with our kids and help them with homework and are more envolved with there education our kids wouldn't be as bad in the school system. Rating them a 4 out of 10 is really bad, we can't expect the teachers to teach them everything. We need to be active with our childrens education both the teachers and parents need to work together and I'm sure we would see a big difference in our schools rating.

I was the president in both committees (CEAC & ELAC) last year. It was a great time to work with parents, teachers and administrators to make this school better. I believe with a team work with a loyal spirit of cooperation, in a good faith, we can make of San Gabriel Avenue Elementary School better: Not because the central district or local district made, because of the willing and work of each one of us in the school (including each student in the school: Of course).

Hello! I worked at this school as a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) for about five years before obtaining my BS in engineering. While I worked there, most of the teachers who taught there at the time genuinely gave it their best effort to teach the children. I was upset that do to the 'No Child Left Behind' policy, which was instituted aroud 2002, an ESL program was non existent. The principal at the time asked me if I was interested in teaching the 'new comers program'. This was the new name given to the ESL program. Keeping in mind that the surrounding community is largely compossed of people that have recently come to the United States (maybe less than 10 years) from Mexico and other Central and South American countries, I taught ESL to about 25 to 30 children. In all it was a great experience for the students and myself! JoseA
